Who isn’t a propaganda shithole these days? Everyone has it.

if they put in DRM that makes the plugins 10x as big (looking at you, Acustica. I don’t even use their plugins because of that), or they make the legit version have some bullshit always-online “all-in-one” software (i.e Native Access) which in turn makes the software a bit of a faff to get working in Linux (to install legit libraries for legit kontakt, native access stores those libraries as .iso files and does some virtual drive fuckery a la DAMEONTools), then yes, if the pirated version is quicker to set up and run (and install libraries for), it is justified imo.

Also i hate theaters and streaming services. I’d rather watch whatever movie I think is cool in the comfort of my PC rather than having to drive to the theater (if it’s even on there in the first place), or paying for 9000 streaming services now and only watch like a couple of things. The wait for a good webrip (even more so for a BluRay) is worth it.

i kinda wish that some people who post security vulns stop being so vague and cherry-picky sometimes, like you could have written in your post that it only affects windows and it affects only a certain range of versions of the program. would have clearned things up better imo. interesting to know, though.

I always knew Israel were crazy, but they’ve been speedrunning Russia levels of brainrot ever since Oct 7 (and even before that). Their propaganda just gets more schizo by the hour, it’s absolutely nuts.

More specifically, it’s the definition of antisemitism that the zionist lobby wants you to believe. Standing up for a people’s right is somehow hateful for the other group yet they don’t bat an eye to actual, true antisemitism. That’s because when the IHRA definition was adopted, pro-Palestinian movements are now defined as antisemitism in the reports, resulting in a massive sea of noise, resulting in actual antisemitism cases being looked at much less.

Funny how a foreign lobby claiming to fight antisemitism ironically has cases where actual antisemites aren’t prosecuted for their crimes.

America - the country that cares when its people are killed in other countries - except when the killing’s done by israel.

So it’s OK to bomb and burn a hospital just because you think there’s weapons and hostages in there? That’s some Russia type logic if i ever heard it. I wonder what side you were on while Russia bombed Ukrainian hospitals.

IDF also dressed up as doctors and nurses during one raid. Most moral army in the world, folks.

Sounds more like the Israelis to me.

Anyone else remember that time when he said that he won’t be sending 1 little ammo crate to israel to try and save face?

was too incompetent to install arch one time so i used archinstaller and created a separate home partition. couple years later that root partiton’s close to filled up, and i do an update after deleting come programs to free up space. then some weird text appeaerrs in terminal, and so i try to update again (this time specifically wine), says loads of files already exist in filesystem. i think “this is weird”, so i restart.

what instantly gets my attention is this text greeting me on boot

loading Linux linux… error: file ‘/vmlinuz-linux’ not found. Loading initial ramdisk… error: you need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continue.

yup, i just borked my install, so i hastily whipped out an outdated arch USB, updated it using a spare laptop and am now on a reinstall (luckily i keep the important files on a separate drive, so not all is lost). extra insult to injury was that my previous install had my drive LUKS encrypted, so i couldn’t evne get in there to possibly backup anything if i tried lol. but it’s feels refreshing starting anew though.

the only one acting like terrorists are USA and israel.

you can also search for the song on a search engine and just type deezer at the end of it, then get the link that way.

I’m sure there’s no controversies and criticism section for your favorite media outlet :)

this seems familiar. where have i heard this before?

It ain’t just convenient, israeli intelligence ignored Egypt’s calls that Hamas was about to do something big, and just let the attack happen because it’s good news. They sensationalise the attack, then use that to justify a genocide and bombing hospitals.

ye i’d also look up Redcurrant and STR-X as well. I often use the HyBrit amp sim with a boost pedal in front (like the NA Clon Centuar or the TSE-999)

glad i got off of windows 10 before windows got worse. now i’m just sitting here laughing but also disappointed that people have to put up with let alone use this shit because it’s the mainstream os
